Today’s A Memory of Light Timeline Banner: Egwene Sedai

To prepare for release of A Memory of Light, the final volume of The Wheel of Time, Tor.com released five special Facebook Timeline banners this week! Click the above image to see it full size, drag it to your desktop, or Save Image As to post it on your Facebook profile.

Five characters in total were depicted as they geared up for The Last Battle. The final one is Egwene al’Vere, otherwise known as Egwene Sedai, Watcher of the Seals, The Flame of Tar Valon, The Amyrlin Seat, depicted here having just blown a hole through the White Tower and now facing down a dragon without a trace of fear.

I wish the Rand al'thor one had the quote death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain. I know that is originally from Lan (in the books at least) but I associate it with Rand too. And Rand's quote above about escaping his destiny... I dont really remember him dwelling a lot on how he could escape his destiny. guess I just dont really like that particular quote.

I cringe that the description says "depicted here having just blown a hole through the White Tower and now facing down a dragon without a trace of fear." Come on people... it isn't a dragon, it is a Raken. If you're doing an official promotion at least get the terminology right.

The description on this one is sooo insulting to WOT fans. I can understand them getting who blew the whole in the wall wrong but come on. There are no Dragons as such in the ENTIRE series. Evidently they have never read any of the books and have no clue.

@Magentawolf I've thought that pose to be strange for some time too. Makes me wonder whether Rand ever actually took the time to re-learn the sword after that whole unfortunate amputation by fireball thing. I think it would be safe to assume he might use Callandor as an actual sword as well as for it's intended purpose, especially considering that either Moiraine or Nynaeve will be controlling the circle - that's why callandor has been largely unused, because pissed off angsty rand saw that flaw as a "box". Maybe re-learning the sword is what he's been up to while he's been absent from the narrative. Anyway, if he did relearn the sword with one hand, and is using callandor as a blade, that might explain the awkward pose as a stillframe of a sword form. Either way, I don't think my opinion differs from that of most when I say the artwork is great, and likely worthy of the book it will cover.
